There is no such thing as
a bad seed,
there is only such thing as
a crooked flower.
For we all start off
as something good,
but it is those who are
poorly water and
hidden in the shade that
grow up a bit wilted.

I believe this poem is very true and full of meaning. We start off good, but some of us take the wrong path and end up growing a bit crooked in the shade. But we always have to remember to reach for the sun. I love reading your work :)

The rhythm and structure of this is good, as well as the puncuation. Although I'm not sure I agree with the whole idea, I see where your coming from and the way you write it is beautiful.
